Oracle FS1-2 Flash

Storage System

The Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system, Oracle’s premier preferred SAN

storage solution, delivers enterprise-grade storage capabilities that are

optimized for flash media and coengineered with Oracle software. Using the

Quality of Service Plus (QoS Plus) feature, the Oracle FS1-2 flash storage

system places data across flash and disk storage to maximize performance,

efficiency, and cost based on usage profiles and business

priorities. The Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system takes

application-engineered storage to a new level by providing

out-of-the-box tuned storage provisioning profiles for Oracle

Database and key applications, including Microsoft

SharePoint and Exchange. With the Oracle FS1-2 flash

storage system, you can consolidate storage while achieving

predictable performance for multiple diverse workloads in

enterprise computing or multitenant environments.

Flash-Optimized Performance

Leveraging a foundation of flash innovation leadership, the Oracle FS1-2 flash storage

system is designed from the ground up to exploit the unique characteristics of flash

storage to provide high IOPS and throughput without compromising expandability. It

scales to 912 TB of flash, and up to 2.9 PB combined flash and disk, to meet the most

demanding performance requirements. By supporting performance-optimized flash and

capacity-optimized flash, you can create flash tiers to optimize read-intensive and

mixed-use I/O.

QoS Plus

QoS Plus is a policy-based virtualization feature incorporating business priority I/O

queue management fused with sub LUN automatic tiering into one simple management

framework. Built on Oracle’s patented storage quality-of-service technology, QoS Plus

collects detailed information on your storage usage profile, evaluates data granules for

movement to different storage tiers, then automatically migrates data to the most cost-

effective media (flash or disk) from a $/IOP and $/GB standpoint based on the usage

profile and the importance of that data to the business. QoS Plus performs data

collection, evaluation, and movement based on the most efficient data granularity in the

storage industry—up to 1,600 times more granular than competitive systems, making it

the most efficient auto-tiering system in the market.

business value

• Horizontal and vertical scalability for optimized flash $/TB and $/IOP

• Faster deployment—less time spent setting up and optimizing key applications

Coengineered with Oracle Database and Oracle Applications

The Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system is coengineered with Oracle Database and

Oracle Applications, leveraging unique features such as the Hybrid Columnar

Compression feature of Oracle Database, and one-click best practices provisioning for

key Oracle Applications and Oracle Database. Hybrid Columnar Compression

compresses data by up to 50x and speeds queries up to 5x when compared to

competitive storage systems. Hybrid Columnar Compression is supported only on

Oracle storage systems such as the Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system.

Application Profiles

The Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system comes with predefined application profiles that

provide tuned and tested out-of-the-box storage optimization for Oracle Database and

key enterprise applications, including non-Oracle applications such as Microsoft

Exchange. With one-click provisioning you can optimize flash performance and manage

Oracle Applications with a minimum of administration. The Oracle FS1-2 flash storage

system database storage profiles can disaggregate database components such as

index files, database tables, archive logs, redo logs, control files, and temp files so

provisioning automatically optimizes Oracle Database performance without requiring

detailed knowledge of the database components. New application profiles can be added

to Oracle FS1-2, existing ones can be modified, and all profiles can be exported to other

Oracle FS1-2 systems to standardize storage provisioning across global data centers.

Storage Domains

Storage domain software enables multiple, virtual storage systems within a single

Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system. Each storage domain is a “data container” that

isolates data from other storage domains, providing independence in multitenant

environments for private or public cloud deployments, regulatory compliance

requirements, or chargeback models. With storage domains, you can custom-tailor QoS

settings for multiple unique environments, with all storage domains still residing on a

single physical Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system for reduced power, cooling, and

management administration expense.

Enterprise Grade

The Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system is designed with enterprise-grade hardware and

software features to provide maximum uptime, data availability, and application access.

These features deliver ~one second controller failover capability, warm start technology

for upgrades and error containment, and no single point of failure (SPOF). Additional

enterprise-grade data integrity capabilities include pre-emptive copying of data away

from potentially failing media, monitoring of SSD usage patterns and wear levels, T10

Protection Information (T10-PI) for application-to-storage data integrity verification, and

complete copy services—all included with the Oracle FS1-2 system price. Oracle FS1-2

flash storage systems ship fully tested and racked from the factory to accelerate

deployments and support remote real-time diagnostic telemetry, and they are available

with optional Oracle Business Critical Service for Systems to maximize system and data

availability (see below for details).

Integrated with Oracle's Red Stack Management for Improved IT Staff Productivity

The Oracle MaxMan feature of the Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system enables the

management of multiple Oracle FS1-2 flash storage systems and/or Oracle's Pillar

Axiom systems from a single console. Oracle FS1-2 provides management plug-ins for

Oracle Enterprise Manager and the Storage Connect feature of Oracle VM for single-

pane-of-glass monitoring and management.

T10 Protection Information

The Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system uses T10-PI for end-to-end data integrity

checking. T10-PI protects against silent data corruption from the application to the

storage devices.

Modular Enterprise Storage

The Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system supports enterprise-grade deployments for your

mission-critical applications and data with a modular approach that enables you to scale

throughput, media types, and capacity independently. This architecture enhances the

resiliency of the Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system by simplifying management,

upgrades, reconfigurations, disaster recovery, and business continuance while

minimizing the impact on your enterprise.

Oracle FS1-2 Controllers

The Oracle FS1-2 controllers provide high performance and redundancy with dual

active/active control units, fans, power, and nonvolatile mirrored cache—all

requirements for enterprise-grade storage. One Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system can

support as many as 30 drive enclosures, enabling storage capacity scaling with no need

to purchase another system and without introducing additional management points,

extra software licenses, or costly downtime. Oracle FS1-2 controllers support multiple

I/O ports for different infrastructure requirements—16 Gbit Fibre Channel, 10 Gbit iSCSI,

and 10 Gbit Ethernet, providing a flexible multiprotocol platform for nearly any

deployment.

Oracle's Storage Drive Enclosures

Oracle's storage drive enclosures can be configured with a range of SSD flash drives

and disk drives to meet complete business needs. Drive enclosure media options

include 400 GB performance SSDs, 1.6 TB capacity SSDs, 300 GB and 900 GB

performance disk drives, and 4 TB capacity disk drives. A single Oracle FS1-2 flash

storage system supports any combination of these drives and uses QoS Plus to

optimize both $/IOPS and $/TB. By scaling out either SSD or disk drive enclosures, a

single Oracle FS1-2 flash storage system can support up to 912 TB of flash or 2.88 PB

of disk-based storage.

Oracle FS Pilot

Oracle FS Pilot is the primary management interface for Oracle FS Series. Oracle FS

Pilot is fully redundant for high availability.
